PEACEMAKING

Jesus encourages us to become peacemakers. No one can pursue peace if he/she is driven by personal ambition and jealousy. Wisdom that comes from above is peaceable. Such wisdom helps us to sow the fruits of righteousness in peace and make peace in the world. The Revised Standard Version translates the Greek Literally:”The harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. We need to be wise enough to preserve peace, make peace and restore peace where it is lost. We as Christians need to pay attention to the basic virtues of charity, humanity and peacemaking in everyday life.

Dear God,
We ask for your wisdom to discern your ways and path for our own lives. Grant us o Lord your wisdom in dealing with injustices in our world. We ask for wisdom for our church leaders, worldwide and local, for our Pastors as they preach your word and as we reach out to those in need in our communities and in our world. - Amen

“It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it”- Eleanor Roosevelt
